A computer, high quality transfer paper, an iron, a shirt, an inkjet printer and your imagination. Although, if necessary you can borrow someone else's imagination.
If you find it impossible to use your imagination you can always use a program online or purchase one in your local software store. Some websites will allow you to use their software and save the design to your computer for little to no cost. This can be another way you can save some money on printing our own custom t-shirts.
Before you get too into the design, you should think about exactly what you are trying to promote or show support of. For example, if you are trying to promote your new business or show support for an upcoming fund raiser. From here you can begin thinking of things you would like to see on your t-shirt.
Having clever catch phrases or a humorous pictures can be a great way for you to draw attention to your shirt. Combining your individuality and personality can prove to be among the best ways for you to show off on your t-shirt.
When you have completed your design and or logo you an the get ready for the printing process and assembly of your new custom t-shirt. After you have loaded your program or file that has your design you can prepare for the printing. You will need to set the printer on mirror. This way your design prints out backwards. Once it is transferred to the shirt it will be the right way.
Be sure that you also load the transfer paper the right way in the printer or your design will come out backwards. After you have printed the design for your custom t-shirt you are ready for the next step.
You can now apply the heat to the transfer paper and complete your shirt. It is important that you first read the directions for applying the heat to the paper. Otherwise, too high of a heat setting can burn the design, and a setting that is too low will not properly set the design. It is just as important that you only apply the heat for the required amount of time. Too much time and too little time can cause the design to become ruined.
